This painting was created in the 19th century, it contains a bull, some horses and suffering and crying people. Also we can see a small white pigeon that represents the peace, but in this case it is dead. This picture is about a bombing that happens in the Spanish civil war from 17th July 1936 until 1st April 1939.
When the artist was painting the picture, Spain was in war, one could deduce that Picasso painted the picture probably because a family member or maybe one of his friends was dead. That picture shows more things to the observer, for example, the indiscriminate killing, the war...
We think that the picture shows, a tragic story that is the end of many Spanish people. Also we can see that there is no peace because there is a dead white pigeon and also there is a lot of blood on the ground and a lot of innocent dead people.
The painting has got different tonalities of the colours black and white and we think that it is because the war also causes poverty and sadness, and these colours also represent that.

Well done!
Mistake: line 3 "happened" (use past tense).
I like so much your description about the picture by way of you explain the meaning of the picture. I think that this description talk about the second picture because you say that the picture is painted with black and white tonalities.
